    This Cozy Hot Chocolate Baked Oats is comforting, warm and enough sweet for the Holidays. Super easy and quick to make. It’s also BOOST in protein and fiber so you won’t be hungry for hours!

    Cozy Hot Chocolate Baked Oatmeal

    You know when Hot Chocolate drinks come out, Thanksgiving, Christmas, THE HOLIDAYS are coming (aka my faaaavorite time of the year). And of course, I couldn’t miss making a “Homemade Hot Chocolate Baked Oats” version.

    Hot chocolate and marshmallows form a classic duo, blending the rich warmth of cocoa with the sweet, pillowy goodness of marshmallows. This comforting combination, often associated with nostalgia and winter coziness, delivers a delightful sensory experience.

    Is Baked Oatmeal Healthy?

    Absolutely! You get complex carbohydrates, protein, fiber, good fats and vitamins. It keeps you full and satisfied, so you won’t be hungry for hours! Works perfect for breakfast or even dessert!

    Why you will love this recipe

    • Tastes like eating dessert for breakfast!
    • It’s very customizable, you can make many different flavors like Vegan white chocolate raspberry baked oats, Gingerbread chocolate chip baked oats, Easy eggnog baked oats and add different toppings of your choice.
    • Requires easy ingredients + minimal ingredients you must have in your pantry!
    Cozy Hot Chocolate Baked Oats ingredients

    Here’s what you need

    • Oat flour – Oat flour has several advantages over wheat flour, not least because it has a higher fibre content and keeps me full for hours. It also makes a perfect choice for products where people are looking for gluten-free options.
    • Chocolate Protein Powder – Optional, but highly recommended for a protein BOOST.
    • Cacao powder – I used 100% unsweetened cacao powder.
    • Baking powder
    • Coconut sugar – The replacement of Brown Sugar! Coconut sugar has a low glicemic index because its fructose content is slowly released into the blood stream without causing sharp spikes in your glucose levels. (Hehe, facts my dad told me)
    • Salt – Very important to enhace the flavor!
    • Milk of choice – Instead of using heavy cream, I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any other kind of plant-based or dairy milk.
    • Chocolate Chips – I used 60% dark chocolate chips.
    • Mini Marshmallows

    How to make Baked Oatmeal?

    • Preheat oven at 180C (350F).
    • In a bowl, add and mix the oat flour, chocolate protein powder, coconut sugar, unsweetened cacao powder, salt and baking powder. Consequently, whisk the yogurt, vanilla extract and milk of choice into the dry ingredients until just combined.
    • Transfer batter to a ramekin or oven-proof container
    • Add chocolate chips and mini marshmallows on top.
    • Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!

    How big is this recipe?

    I used a 6 oz ramekin so this recipe is perfect for ONE serving only. Don’t worry though – just multiply everything by how many servings you need! If you want two servings of this baked oats, for example, double all the ingredients listed below!

    Storing and reheating tips

    I don’t think this will last you longer than one serving, because it’s TOO GOOD to not eat the whole serving. But, in the last circumstances:

    • To store: Store in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
    • To reheat: Microwave for 1 minute or heat in the oven at 180C (350F) for 10 minutes. The oats may have hardened a bit more so just add a splash of milk to moisten it and it’s ready to DEVOUR.

    Baked Oats FAQ

    Can I use quick oats?

    Of course, you can! But the texture won’t be the same. I highly recommend using oat flour for a cake-like consistency.

    Can you make baked oats in the microwave?

    YES! In case you don’t have time, microwave for 1-2 minutes, make sure to have enough space in your bowl to avoid overflowing. The cake-like consistency won’t be as good as baking it.

    Can I prepare the batter the night before?

    The answer is: YES! Make sure to mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and the wet ones in another. Then, the next morning mix both together and bake. Otherwise, the baking powder may lose effect and it won’t rise.

    Can I eat baked oats cold?

    I’ve given it a try, and the results aren’t quite the same. Optimal enjoyment comes from either consuming it immediately or reheating it in the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes.

    Ingredients substitutes and notes

    • Oat flour – No oat flour? Use rolled or quick oats and add all the ingredients into a blender.
    • Coconut sugar – You can add any granulated sugar of choice!
    • Chocolate Protein Powder – I highly recommend using protein powder. If skipping, replace for more sweetener.

    If vegan:

    • Replace marshmallows and milk for any plant-based alternative.
